first spell effects I saw were at necro in OS before a trak raid today. ice comet was the first. zoom, comet flies down, hits mob, ice chunks go flying out all over the place :P super cool, hehe.

I haven't seen any of the other spells really. seems the general spell effects look better now, not so jagged and blocky. I play with the effects off mostly due to lag so I haven't seen any of the buff effects like SoW or shields, etc. Some day.
